BOSTON - A Mexican national who had been deported nine times in 14 years was sentenced Tuesday for illegally re-entering the country.

Bulmaro Enriquez, 32, also faces pending state charges for domestic assault and battery and has prior convictions for drug possession and drunken driving, said Christina DiLorio-Sterling, spokeswoman for U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling.

Enriquez was sentenced to eight months in prison and two years of supervised release in U.S. District Court. He is also subject to deportation hearings again once he is released, she said.

In April 2017 Enriquez was arrested in Framingham in November 2017 and charged with domestic assault and battery. While he was out on bail, immigration officers tracked him down and charged him with illegal entry. He was released from federal custody after posting the equity of his girlfriend's home as bail but violated conditions of his release by testing positive for using cocaine and buprenorphine, she said.

Enriquez was most recently deported in 2016 after being convicted in Framingham after police seized 1.5 pounds of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. After completing his sentence, he was determined to be in the country illegally and ordered removed to Mexico. Sometime after that he returned, DiLorio-Sterling said.

According to court records, Enriquez, who has a lengthy criminal record, has been deported previously on Oct. 12, 2004; Nov. 22, 2004; Jan. 10, 2005; Nov. 7, 2005; March 6, 2006; April 18, 2006; Nov. 27, 2007; April 1, 2008; and Feb. 2016, she said.

Lelling and Todd M. Lyons, Acting Field Office Director, Boston, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Enforcement and Removal Operations, made the announcement of the conviction. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kenneth G. Shine of Lelling's Major Crimes Unit prosecuted the case.
